Japanese companies Sharp and J-Phone were the first businesses that successfully created the first camera cell phone back in Nov 2000. Since then, this hybrid technology has evolved rapidly. Better zooms, higher quality shots, more storage memory, water proofing, flash and red eye reduction technology are all typical features of the modern camera cell phone.
What are the advantages of a camera cell phone? Well it depends on who you are.
- 1. The professional photographer is always searching for that defining shot. The sophisticated camera can not also be on hand. A good camera cell phone can:
* Provide convenience for that spontaneous shot to be taken
* PC compatible functions means it can be downloaded quickly to be edited
- 2. The freelance journalist again has the:
* Convenience of real time capture of events
* Ability to send those photos wirelessly from the phone to the editor for immediate broadcasting/printing
- 3. The leisure seeker can have luxury of having a camera cell phone to capture shots of family and friends – without having to remember to bring the digital camera.
- 4. The addicted snapper can take many photos of friends and compile a slide show on the cell phone immediately to view. The photos can be edited to become the cell phone screen saving or wall paper.
- 5. The professional engineer / architecture can take shots of machines, buildings and even 2D documents to reproduce later into printouts or as photo files to be edited.
- 6. The budget conscious consumers can purchase a camera cell phone and remove the need to buy a separate digital camera. The quality of zoom and image capture in most camera cell phones are so good that for occasional users of digital camera, there is really no need to invest in another device. Software on cell camera phone are also improving all the time therefore closing the gap on viewing/editing functions of digital cameras.
In summary, cost and convenience are the big factors driving the demand for camera cell phones. To maximize these advantages, the specific consumer needs to take the following into account when choosing a camera cell phone:
- 1. How regularly do I need to take photos? Some brands have cameras that are more reliable than others.
- 2. What features do I need? Flash, instant editing, zoom, pixilation, wireless/Bluetooth transfer are all important considerations in choosing a brand
- 3. How much do I want to spend? Quality is dependant upon price.
- 4. Do I need to look at compatibility? Am I going to download the photos onto my computer to store and edit? Am I going to send it around to share? Do I need to print it out to present? If you answer yes, make sure your camera cell phone is compatible with other devices you already have.
For a number of cell phone users, the camera cell phone can become an indispensible tool with the advantage of convenience and real time connectivity. For the rest of us, a camera cell phone is a fun luxury to have in our back pocket.
